Can someone recommend me a decent case for a large GPU that's easy to build on? thanks
>>109122581All the fishtanksGoogle fishtank caseThere you go, have fun
>>109122556based AMD jeet free OP. Thank you!
when will people benchmark steamos with ryzen + radeon current cpus and gpus? I wanna know if it's actually good
>>109122561If you take their numbers at face value, but I don't think the department of defense and the pentagon do that. It could be true that they spend 10% of USA spendings on AI. Fuck if I know.But the AI race obviously rose to the level of national security, with a lot happening behind the curtains. It's not just a few companies going full retard suicide path on the off chance that they birth AGI. There's big military and political backing behind those seemingly silly decisions.Maybe we'll know in the next 10-20 years wtf the current events were all about.>>109122562Well apparently the current shitty "AIs" have a lot to offer for military use cases. Target tracking via very complex sigint, identification, calculation of collateral damage, breaking through encryption, deepfakes influencing behavior of targets, "AI" waiting days or weeks for a perfect moment to execute a target with minimal collateral. And that's just the publicly released info.LLMs are dogshit but they allow for easy swarm of bots to control narratives online, in any region, in any language. Whenever an "unwanted" discussion appears, bots pretending to be users can flood the space and try to influence the discussion via negative-feedback, criticism and illusion of contrary consensus.For example:>3 users talk about doing X>8 bots appear, smearing the idea of doing X, saying it's akshully retarded, wouldn't work, the users suggesting that are idiots and should do something elseIt won't work on everyone, but it will work on majority of people to some degree. Great for population control and "training" people on what to think, what ideas get "approval" (of bots lmao), what ideas get "rejected" (by bots).
parts cost too much and it's too "close" to another gen releaseangry.
>>109122716>too "close" to another gen releaseWon't they release in late 2027 or straight up in 2028?This gen of GPUs is so fucking gay, released in 2025, only got more expensive as time passed, no super versions, next gen in 2028. So we're stuck with those early 2025 cards for 2 more years, and probably they'll only ever increase in price.
hmmmmm. i cant help but notice the lack of a listing for the 9950x3d2 and blackwell 6000.
My 9800x3d came with a free Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240 CPU AIO Cooler, is this any good? I'm scared of using an entry level cheap AIO on an expensive build. Should I just get a decent air cooler?
>>109122829I would, but using the 240mm aio should be fine too, it's best if you can sell it
I had my PC built about a year ago. It's getting a bit dusty in there and probably time for a cleaning. For whatever retarded reason, I am scared shitless I will break something. You kings got a good video I could watch?
>>109122874I just open the side panel and vacuum it on the low setting while holding the fans or small parts with my hand. If it's been that long dust will probably be set quite well so you'll probably need a toothbrush or something similar.t. never broken a pc cleaning it like a brute in decades
>>109122889Ok, I wasn't sure if I am at the point where should be taking my GPU or cooler out to clean it.
>>109122874only do maintenance if you need to change paste, or the thermals are bad, or a fan brokepcs are not meant to be touched
>buy a 64gb set of ram for $400>sell it a month later for $500>use that money to buy more ram>repeatWhy arent you doing this?
>>109122874>Get a can of compressed air and vacuum. >Make sure the vacuum nozzle is clean and isn't throwing dust around itself when turned on.>blow the fuck out of pc with the compressed air can while sucking the dust in the air up with the vacuum.>make sure to use the little straw thingy on the compressed air to get into the nooks and crevices of the pc.>pray to the god of your choice that it turns back on again.Been doing that since the 90s.
>>109122895You rarely need to do that, it's legit not worth it.
gn dissassembled the goycube, it's actually way too complex, it's like disassembling a mac mini, full of ribbon cables and daughter boards, and you need to go pretty deep to change/add dram, the ssd is easier to replaceit's only nice because it's small and low power device, everything else is bad about it
>>109122887As long as you're not retarded and can do without 50 things constantly open, sure why not
>>109123140are you stupid
>>109122829240 is fine but I'd get a bigger one if your case allows it
>>109122829I got one of those free one time but sold it since it seems to have a high rate of pump failureGet something more reliable from noctua, arctic or whoever else makes coolers
>>109123140It doesn't matter how good/bad it is to repair - nobody should be buying it.
Hello my fellow human friends. I would like to ask you for advice on pc carts and or stands. What PC Stand would be decent enough to support a mid or full sized atx computer? I simply wish to elevate it somewhat while also fitting under a standing desk. It does not need to be fancy and low profile is perfectly fine. Than you very much for your time. pic unrelated
I am sad that the gabecube failed. Even at the original price of $750 I think that was too much. $600 would have been pretty good.>>109123140>goycubeGood one.
I'm gonna do it...
>>109123564Unrealistic outlook. This existing should tell you how things are going
>>109123602isn't 8gb vram like not very future proof?
>>109123642look at this guystill thinks theres a future
>>109123642It runs left 4 dead and gmodThat's good enough
>>109123642Is there ANYTHING else that would bring such a big improvement in this price range?
my screen allows for 10bit color when in 60hz but when I run it at 180hz it's only 8bit color, yes it's a cheap screen, I'll take the refresh rate I guess
>>109123669buy the 16gb version instead
>>109123673its fake 10bit anyways
>>109123675>just sell another kidney bro
>>109123688I think buying less than 12gb card these days is pretty insane desu, but if you must, buy the 8gb card, check the 9060 xt 16gb prices, they might be better
>>109123675>buy the 16gb version insteadAt that point he should get 5070 nearly the same price.
>>109123669Anon, userbenchmark is not a serious site. Don't use it.>>109123642Indeed, it's already bottlenecking on vram, cutting performance in half, not just in new games either.>>109123654>That's good enoughThen don't buy a GPU
>>109123691unfortunately amd is about 30% more expensive ($430) and has lower performance
>>109123700>Don't use it.wtf
forgot pic
>>109123700Last of us is dogshit but he also should not buy a cucked card
>>109123708It's ran by a intel fanboy / AMD anti who in recent years has gone schizo after getting called out by pretty much everyone for rigging benchmarks.The first redditors to ban him was the intel fan reddit, topkek.
>>109123704>userschizomarkthat website is compromised, stop fucking using that shit.
Well?
>>109123738Well what?
>>1091237389070xt really is a 80 class card, idk why they sold it as 70 series
>>109123746>anon is illiterate
>>109123738here are the last testinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Dbdi_pVn5k
>>10912374316g is only performing negligibly better than 8g for 2k gaming?
Why did they stop making the 4090 anyway?And what's with the price spread as well damn?
>>109123760That's a rasterization score only and it doesn't factor in what you'd see. If you don't understand the chart I have nothing I can say other than what I just did. That's just an average and not situational results.
>>109123760>16g is only performing negligibly better than 8g for 2k gaming?No. Also I'm assuming you mean 1440p. Here's another example of the 8GB failing at (less than) 1440p.By the way, most of the time it won't just cut the framerate in half. That's just the average. What is actually happening is that the game is stuttering horribly, like it's frozen for a second, so pretty much unplayable.
>>109123766It's on the same node as rtx5000 and competes for the same limited wafers. The 5090 is also better in every way when running at or above 300w.
I refuse to play bad software that require high vram
I know the general says to avoid Asrock Mobos, but any experiences with the ASRock X870E Taichi EATX? I already bought it and had planned to build with it soon. Wanted it for it's heatsinks and dual gpu set up.
now that the 7900xtx has fsr 4.1.1 it's actually a better card than the 4080.
>>109123817It only took 3 years of waiting for it to beat the 4080, kek
actually kicking myself for not having bought a 7900xtx when they were dirt cheap when the 9070xt because everyone was talking about how much it sucked and you could find it for $600
>>1091238549070xt launched*
>>1091238549070xt is still preferable because 26.6.2 is a dogshit unstable driver
fsr4 masterclass is in sessionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCYwdVfyQvI
>>109123816Have you checked if there are any recent cases? There were "only" like 200 to begin with though most of them were on ASRock followed by Asus without any information about market share of each manufacturer
>>109123817 4080 can do dlss transformer model, better frame gen quality wise and has rest of the nvidia features set
Who's getting the infinity wood 5080?
>Gigabyte RTX 5070 WINDFORCE OC SFFI don't care about the size, but since I can find mostly SFF versions of the 5070, do I lose performance or cooling with that form factor?
>>109124045people only buy sff if they have to obviously its harder to cool with smaller heatsink
>>109123939Not to my knowledge but my only source is reddit
trying to go for entry level am5 build, it would be my very first "real" pc>7600X>1tb pcie 4>b650 eagle axGot all of this for 300€ so far on amazonTwo questions:1. I don't have that much money left but some anon said you shouldn't cheap out on psu, case and the cpu cooler. Is it really that big of a deal? I honestly cannot tell the difference between good and bad. But at least on prime day I can get a 750w psu and a atx case for about 100€ in total and some cheap cooler for 20€. I just wonder if cheapskating like this would bite me in the ass in the future because I have zero experience with all of this.2. I've got a spare m.2 2280 psie 4 512gb from my old mini pc which has w11 and all of my personal data installed. I assume I can't just plug it into the mobo and be good to go, right? What I should do with it? Aside from that I'd be buying 2x8gb ddr5 second hand and one of those intel gpus for 200€. If I'm not mistaken it should all be about 800€ in total, which isn't bad for a am5 build right?I always heard about how am5 is barely worth it unless you have a lot of koney, but it seems aside from the ram sticks there isn't really noticable price difference to am4.
>>109124103for cases you can refer to gamers nexus testing, theres a difference in cooling for cpu cooling with amd cpus its not a big deal, they use modern tsmc nodes and are low core count so they use like 60w during gaming and any air cooler will do fine, some chink thermalright is reccedpsu logic is that it feeds all the rest of the system, and if it fails it causes problems for all other components, so paying more you're paying for peace of mind that it failing doesnt destroy other expensive components. Also buying a 850w gives headroom to upgrade a gpu.
>>109124103Don't cheap out on PSU. Case +PSU for 100 looks too cheap, it will be shit quality. Get a gold rated PSU. Case doesn't matter that much unless it's a 30 dollar hotbox.For the 7600x, just get a thermalright assassin X, or phantom spirit/phantom assassin if ur feeling fancy. Don't overspend on the cooler.>I assume I can't just plug it into the mobo and be good to go, right?Yeah you actually can, just set up the boot priority on your motherboard BIOS.However, since we are on /g/, I cannot recommend you use windows. Use a Linux distribution like Linux Mint or cachyOS.
>>109123738>4070ti is a scam taht sure as fuck shouldn't be above 5070
>>109124037Why do they keep making all these vanity 5090 variants?
>>109122556Funny to see my open air build in the OP, i did this initially after replacing my 10 year old PSU but later that same day i decided to use my new cheapo and tiny silence focused case, with questionable cooling. But i run my stuff so undervolted and underclocked it has been no issue at all, infact i don't think temps really increased at all. The loudest part of my system were the HDDs and it was driving me nuts, and i've gotten to a stage where i just want to configure my PC and stick it under my desk and forget about it, so that's what i did. All respect to people who can stomach running open air builds like this.Picrel, PC in 40 dollar cheapo case.MSI B550 A Pro2x32GB 3600 CL18 Corsair Ryzen 5 5600 4.0GHz fixed all core, 0.975 fixed voltageAsrock 6800XT Phantom gaming -250mv 2000/2150 with spent toilet roll anti sagPhanteks AMP 1kW PlatinumMission SG GGX 1.2 caseThe hardest part with this case was to find places to put excess cables, but otherwise i'm really happy with it for the price, and it's quiet too. Just barely fits my Noctua NHU12A.
>paid £979 for my 5070 ti strix thinking I got royally shafted>its now going for £1,149.99 on ASUS official storehaha AH AHAHAH CLOWN WORLD
>>109124283For once it's not a 5090 but a 5080
>>109124037ugly
>>109124037I'm sure you lose FPS based on how gay that fucking thing looks
>>109124435but it looks like a hoverboard and everyone knows hoverboards are cool
>>10912428350XX series is the fastest selling GPU series in a long time (maybe ever?)There's a big market and a lot of money to be made in doing fancy GPUs that promote your brand over a competitor.
>>109124103>there isn't really noticable price difference [between am5 and] am4You can get a R 5500 for €80, pair that with a B550-M for €60 and put in a used kit of 2 8GBs DDR 4 dims for €50 and you'll have a system that won't bottleneck a 9060XT.
>>109124564But there's way too many of themThe matrix and lightning z were already launched a while back and now Asus is doing the 30th anniversary astral which is literally a matrix v2. Inb4 MSI launches a lightning z superclocked in a month or twoWhile real improvements in GPUs like the supers, 5080ti, 5090ti are nowhere to be seen
Eyeing the budget range. Looking at 5060 vs the amd counterpart. What's the better choice? At this price range does the RTX, DLSS features outweigh the raw price per power ratio of the amd? What about futureproofing when everything wants nvidias fake frames
>>1091246475070 is best value5060 8gb has too little vram5060 ti is too weak vs 5070
>>109124430Damn, you're right. Double scam in that case.>>1091246555070ti bro
>>109124647If you must go one of the two, get the RX9060XT 16GB, 8GB is absolutely too little vram.
>>109124667Yeah I figured. What about ray tracing/frame gen with it? Is it feasible or do I need a nvidia? Some of the anons recommend 5070 but it's above budget
>>109124693RT is okay on 90xx, path tracing is typically for nvidia >5070 gpustheres 1 x frame gen for amd, 50xx has 6xbig issue is support in games, amd's latest features are hardly supported and nvidia is the industry standard that publishers want to support because more people have em
>>109124579Well the msi has showed previously on computex together with the lighting z also an air cooled lightning, so they also can release thisBut I dunno, the lightning z was really a disaster, in JayzTwoCents it lost to just a normal Astral, so those fucks don't even bin chips for an 4k+ USD GPU.Also Asus released the 5090 ProArt too. At least the ProArt and Aorus Hoverboards are different in that they use different PCB, the one from FE, and those models are smaller and not 4 slot ones. And I guess there was a lot of anniversaries recently, 40 years of Asus and Gigabyte, 20 years of ROG, I thinks MSI is also going to have some anniversary soon
>>109124713Damn so basically do I just bite the bullet and save a little longer for a 5070 for futureproofing?
>>109124758the industry is hostile to budget pc gamers rn and its impossible to say how things on in the futureid save for 5070, but youd realistically want a 5070 ti to get more vram because future games will use that upyou might wait for 50xx supers that may be announced in half a year, but they might not be announced or they might cost moreyou might buy amd and not have nvidia featureset for the next 5-10 years
>>109124771Damn alright maybe I will save instead. 5070 is already over my budget so Tis or supers are out of the question. Not to mention the other parts that support 5070 adequately without bottlenecking
>>109124787I got an 7800x3d from aliexpress during a sale so maybe thats an option
>>109122556Saw some sperg on reddit saying that according to his uncle who works att Dell all pc components will get a new fancy price increase June 30. So I'm just going to bite the bullet and buy the fucking 32gb ram for 450 donalds.
>>109124818>DDR5 platformsuse case?
>>109124787>support 5070 adequately without bottleneckingAlso known as any CPU made in the last 8 years.No, you do not *need* an X3D CPU when you're chasing cost savings rather than single digits of frames that may or may not come with the subtle killer of AMDip stutter. Yes, the 250K is an excellent middle-of-the-road option for cheap.
>>109124921bing bing wahoos
>>109124965but there's not a single good bing bing wahoo that needs ddr5
>>109124921My current pc is a "gaming" laptop from 2014 that I use for music production and the cpu and 16gb ram can't handle multiple instances of things like Vital, have already bought everything except for ram and cpu last year before the price hikes.
>>109124925Same with all this 16GB VRAM minimum or you cant play games nonsense. Change the textures from ultra to high with virtually zero visual difference and it doesn't chew through double the amount.
>>109124921Offloading models and retrieving weights faster, I think. I didn’t want a 5090 for video games but now that I’m testing out LLM’s I want one more than ever, and now I’m happy that I overclocked my ram for what seemed like no reason at all at the time.
>>109122556https://modernwoodstyle.com/products/computer-desk-with-keyboard-trey-live-edge-ash-wood?variant=51238283346140I'm looking for a good desk and these are 50% off.

For reasons I don't wanna disclose and probably because I am retarded my cpu died.I am thinking between getting a 5700x or a 5500x3d. I am from LATAM because I have no other option at that price.The 3xd seems better for gaming in all benchmarks but it seems the extra cache matter less at 1440P, especially with my 3060ti. What would you get? The less powerful clock and less cores kinda tickles my autism since they are at the same price.
>>109125798get the x3d if you're gamingdont fall for the more but slower cores meme
>>109125809Aren't all the cores faster? Its just the cache from L3 carrying a very mediocre cpu.I guess I will get the x3d. Just irks me a bit because I had a 5600x and I am technically getting a "slower" cpu for """normal"" tasks.
>>1091258315700x's cores are slower than the x3d's in games because of lack of cache forcing them to stall
>>109125834Yeah but its worse on all non gaming things. And at 1440p you get other bottlenecks
Are these $80 gayming chairs actually worth the asking price? This feels rather comfortable, heavy, and breathable compared to my light, creaky faux leather IKEA chair and fits my back shape well. I've always ignored gayming chairs as memes compared to proper office or racing seats but I'm tempted to reconsider now.
>>109125929Fuck no.The most important thing is the lumbar support which is basically free, what you are paying in a chair are the materials and how long will the chair last. Things like comfortability are a meme, you will get used to it.
What do we think about Steam OS? I’m not buying a steam machine, but its my understanding the OS can be installed on any pure AMD machine. I hate windows so goddamn much but previous Linux distros have all sucked for gamingIs 2026 THE year?I have a 9070xt and whatever the processor that goes with it is. The one with the 9s and Xes in the name.
damn this is how gaza niggas living

I have a 4070Ti running a 27" IPS 2560x1440 but want to upgrade to a 32" OLED 3840x2160, i'll game on 1440p but everything else will be 2160p.Is this a dumb idea or should i keep waitfagging? Is QD-OLED worth the premium over WOLED?
>>109126070should clarify, i will game at 1440p on the 32" 2160p
>>109125798Walking to the store if anyone else has another opinion. The 105W does turn me off vs the 65 of the 5700x.God damn it I wish I could work with US stock. I also wish I wasn't a retard and just bought ddr5 and upgraded to am5 a year back. When the ram shortage started I got 32 gb of ddr 4 for 50 bucks thinking I broke the system. A friend got 32 of ddr5 for like 120 and upgraded to am5, I thought it was overkill.Now I could literally get a better am5 cpu for less what I am gonna pay but I can't SINCE 32 DDR GOES FOR 500 BUCKS. AAAAAAH WHY DID MY CPU DIED.
>>109125986I had the same keyboard, its nice
Local store selling 9/7900x cheaper than 7/7800x3dwhat's the catch
>>109126221Catch is that you could have just bought a 270k for likely even cheaper
>>109126221nobody is buying dual ccd cpus theres a latency penalty.
>>109126221unless you mistyped something it's x vs x3d so

>RAM>DDR5: 2x16GB or 2x24GB, 6000CL30 (AM5), 6400CL32in terms of performance, how bad would it be to get ddr5 32gb (2x16gb) 5600 cl40? the prices are fucking killing me
>>109126444If the price is right go for it, there's a 95% chance you're going to be gpu bottlenecked in everything anyways
>>1091257985700x and its not even close.
>>109126221X3D chips are better overall unless you're doing workstation-esque things and need the higher core count.Zero reason to buy the X900/X950 chips unless you're doing intense workloads.This pricing has been normal for ages now, it's not a deal or anything.
Does anyone have advice on my second accept at Jerry rigging a data chip vs wifi? Because fuck my poor motherboard
>>109125941>Things like comfortability are a meme, you will get used to it.Even with the use of pillows and strapped pillows, this IKEA chair seems like it would be quite inferior even to that chair I just showed. My sick back along with its slipped discs really finds it painful, and trying not to slip off of it is difficult. No reclining feature either. The question I would have is what would be better in the same price range, because this chair is comparatively flimsy and basic.
>Have DDR4 of 64gb of RAM>Have spare 32gb DDR4.Im gonna be fine until 2030 :-)
is the 9070 XT worth the $50 over the 9070?
>>109126515Damn, I just found an IKEA Markus on the street but it looks like it's been sitting there for days.
>>109126515You can get cheap lumbar support chairs with reclining for 80-100 that will last 2-3 years using daily.At first the lumbar support will hurt just endure it, you are unlearning years or bad sitting. And obviously hand made lumbar support will not work

>release fsr 4.1 INT8>only runs decently on the highest end cards with lots of INT8 acceleration >performance vs FSR 3 is still like 20 fps less in games like BF6>lower end cards which would benefit the most also have the biggest performance hitWhy are amd so retarded
>>109126715it's been fuck the low end since 2020 industry wideyou just have to get on board or get offthis update is for XTX owners
>>109125798Depends on your prices, I got my 5500X3D for $150 on Ali and I'd do it again no question. Unless you want to do productivity shit just get the X3D. It's faster (in gaming) than the 5950X, let alone the 5700Xhttps://youtu.be/NdpfV5IkUi0
>>109126732>since they are at the same priceDorry didn't see that at first. definitely the X3D then
>>109126715this new driver update is explicitly for 7000 series bro. they fixed and sped up a lot of things for them on windows & linux, fsr 4.1 is just a bonus.
>>109122829> 240 CPU AIO CoolerOf course it will cool "good enough" but not as silently as a 360+. Also greatly depends on how much air your case takes in via the front fans. And it should come with a VRM fan.

Will PC builds get any cheaper in the near future? No way I'm buying at the top.
>>109127128Sure :)Just Wait™
>>109127128They will probably force us to do computing via the datacenter clouds in the future. Personal computers will be a thing of the past soonish.
>>109127128Cpus are good. Ram might go down if the bubbles pop, otherwise lol ram producers are done dealing with costumers that are not big chains. Gpus might normalize in a few years, storage should too?

Amy monitor recommendations on prime day sales? I'm looking for something maximum 27'', needs to be glossy and the main thing that matters to me is response time.
https://videocardz.com/newz/valve-steamos-image-now-supports-amd-discrete-radeon-gpus-for-custom-steam-machine-buildsAMD won
>>109127344>buy amd gpu>comes bundled with bf6>install steam os >can't even play bf6 because linux is garbage Amd lost, wow.
>>109127337Prime day seems to be a scam. The monitor I bought last week is more expensive today, even saying it's 17% off because of prime day.
>>109127381Amd wants you to dualboot their CPUs can handle it
>>109126221aliexpress is selling the 7800x3d for far less than the 7900x.
is 500hz that much of a difference to your eyes than 240hz?
>>109127731if you can always make every game run at 500fps then youd def go for a panel that can do thatnow you mostly rely on nvidia multi frame gen and pulsar monitors are more interesting for maxing clarity
>>109127731It's pretty meh. Nice but I could go without, unlike 60to120 and 120to240Easy to hit with mfg though
>>109127746I am having a dilemma whether I should go for 1440p 500hz or 2160p 240hz. I have rx 9070xt and 7800x3d for cpu
>>109127762If you need a 32" 4k monitor for its larger size it might be the better option. Oleds are really clear at 240hz if the game runs at 240 fps, for amd you need like base 140 fps to max it out with 1x frame gen?you know, you see it more clearly if you view it a bit further away. Better for anime
Heatsinks on the MSI MPower mobo are massive. It's kinda funny how heavy the board actually is.
>>109127777What about 27''? 32'' seems a bit large in my imagination, my current monitor is 27'' 1440p. Do you think I will notice much if I go for 27'' 4k?
>>109127856> 27'' 4k?not worth it to me. I know some ppi schizos are out there but I dont understand their position. 1440p is easier to run so you get more fps and the fps increase is worth more4k 27" is for coders or something
>>109127856>Do you think I will notice much if I go for 27'' 4k?night and day mateyou have to see in real life for yourself online pics don't do it justice the clarity is insane
why do people care about peak brightness of a monitor except when playing in daylight?
>>109127935In hdr content for oleds it enables the content creators to play within a larger rangemaybe they make outdoor scenes hurt your eyes, or explosions.OLEDs can have like 1k nits 2% brightness that goes down to 200 nits at full white and youd prefer the minimum for full screen shit to be high enough that you dont notice it in real content. for desktop its different since white webpages look horrid and you Want brightness to be capped.for sdr in lcd monitors it hasnt been that relevant for a while
>>109127856I use a 27" 1440 at work, and a 28" 4k for my gaming machine. I can 100% immediately tell the difference. At 27, 1440 basically just looks like a 1080 screen. If you want actual fidelity, go to 4k.

>>109128242Cheap and quiet, I never said they had to be good
>>109128224If you're set on mATX you can do this and save since they offer an ongoing cpu bundle. It's arguably the best mATX mobo you can get.https://us-store.msi.com/B850MPOWER
Anyone actually gone with W11 LTSC?How much trouble was it to get working and was it worth it?
>>109128244>>109128263I can change the mobo to an Asus TUF Gaming B850-PLUS WIFIChanged psu to 850W same model. (it's the best deal for me)I could get the xpg 6400mhz with Cl38 for about 150 bucks more, does it make THAT much difference ?
>>109125210> I didn’t want a 5090 for video games but now that I’m testing out LLM’s I want one more than ever, I know that feel.I was on a 3080 and didn't even need more, but when I got into AI I immediately went and bought a 5090. Was it worth it? Fuck yes. It basically enables you to play with all local models and video/image generation that doesn't require a small data center at home.
For productivity and gaming what size monitor(s)? Do you have a second monitor for 32 inches? If so is it also 32 inches?

>>1091270414070ti will struggle to game at 2160p
>>109128805Is there any good oled monitor then?
>>109128877no, it will not
>>109128877Even a 5080 can't run CP2077 on 4K Ultra above 70 fps peak, and that's typical of any modern game with actually good graphics.
$400 max, want a new monitor, preferably 1440p 27". Currently have a 12 year old 24" 1080p Dell IPS screen. Thinking one of these cheapo Gigabyte QDOLEDs. Already have a 65" OLED TV in the same room, so dunno if it would be better to just buy a povertytier fast IPS screen for ~$200 instead and just hold out for better tech that's always just TWO MORE WEEKS away
>>109126070i thought tandem woled costs the most?anyway, qdoled is nice if you get a 5th gen panel with the improved screen coating that doesn't turn magenta under ambient light
>>109128664ram mhz? cl?
>>109129410mhz is whatever you get for a standard arm and leg.
>>109125210you need a blackwell 6000
>>109127935I upgraded from 1st to 5th gen qdoledThe new panel guarantees 300 nits max brightness at a 100% APL compared to the older panel's 250 nits and in regular use, it runs much cooler than the old panel which can be felt as less radiated heat when I move my hands close to the panelIt should theoretically help reduce burn in drastically too since burn in is accelerated by high temps
>>109128365x3d hides ram latency pretty well but it's up to your use case
any of you NEETards buying up used tetris parts? i've been finding some decent buys on spinners, nandies, and other useful parts. used market is where it's at right now.
I like Noctua and I like ayylmaoware.There, I said it.
>>109122556Ok, so I'm racking my brains over a monitor. This thing is listed for $454.99 (originally $599.99). I'm upgrading my whole fucking workstation and I just want a good monitor for under $500. I never owned a whole ass OLED monitor before. Based on whatever research I did, the gray banding seems to have been mostly minimized and it's a glossy screen. Go for it? Any other suggestions?
Is 5600X to 5800X3D a worthwhile upgrade? I'm stuck on AM4 until RAM prices normalize.Will it still bottleneck my 5070 Ti?

>>109130008they wont normalize for 5+ years. bite the bullet and upgrade to am5 NOW

>>109130536Shrug, I am happy with what I got, I also made the money working with AI (technically I worked for google) so wasting the money on expensive ram seems fair.
>>109130568yours is better since it's cudimmmine's just a cheap overvolted traditional 24gbit m-die kit
>>109130228idk, lemme know when u finded one
>>109130578Ya but I am on z890 intel and AMD crushes everything since it's the platform that all consoles, and therefore game developers work on, so its inherently more efficient for gaming.
Are there any cheaper fan CONTROLLERS than openfan? not fan hubs but controllers. my mobo doesnt support turning fans off so i need a controller
>>109130622>doesnt support turning fans offexplain!

>>109130662are you being vague because you dont actually know or are you doing that thing where you waste time with sillyness just for lolz?
>>109130795wtf are you talking about? the fan controller on the asus crosshair vi hero doesnt let software set it to zero rpm. i dont know what else you want me to explain??ergo i need a fan CONTROLLER (not hub) that lets them be set to zero
I would like to build a pc for games such as factorio, oxygen not included, rimworld in hungary with a budget of 1600 euros, if it could also run newer titles at low to minimum settings at 1080p 60fps that would be nice but worst case Im going to keep using my 1050 Ti. Thank you.

Anyone here uses the BeQuiet rgb software? My profile refuses to save and it just resets after every restart. Can I just take control of it with openrgb or something?
>>109130818Why would you keep your 1050 ti if your budget is $1600? Buy some second hand am4 platform and drop an rx 7600 in it
>>109123642for 99% of games on 1080p, set the texture quality a little lower and you'd be absolutely fine.if you'd be planning to game on 4k you'd have bought a different card anyway. 4k is a meme, an absolute waste imo.
>>109130749It's because you missed out on scams like zen+, 8gb vram or AMD RadeonMost PCs from that era running the above hardware are as good as scrap metal today

If I'm still on AM4, is the 5800X3D rerelease worth it or am I just going to have to eat shit and spend the 1000+ euro on DDR5+new mobo+AM5 CPUMostly 1440p, occasionally 4k on the TV, so I'm largely GPU limited, I mostly want to improve 1% lows/micro stutters
>>109130749Your specs reflect a base PS5 which is by all accounts still the platform the majority of games are deisgned for.A rule of thumb to follow is that you should rebuild your system every single console generation, and statistically a 5xxx card system built now will be on the level of a ps6.
>>109131351You either go 5800x3d or you go Intel
>>109131376Why Intel?
>>109131351intel raptorlake offers the highest 1% lows stutter-free experience but you'd be walking on thin ice with its degradation issue. alderlake or the 12900k/12900ks would be the best compromise on ddr4 but it'd also require a new lga1700 board so 5800x3d is still your best value option even with its amdip issues
>>10913138513900k/14900k has way higher IPC, clockspeed and lower latency than any zen3 cpu
>>109131385You can get a 285k+Mobo+ramkit for like $650 at microcenter, best buy, or costco

>>109131520Nah, if you wanna do 4K or games with PT, Nvidia is your only option. And if you don't wanna do 4K or PT, you don't need a new GPU at all.

I don't even use regular RT.
the steam machine will normalize the 5060 and 9060 xt 8 gb models, people are going to talk about how much better those are and how cheap they are, suddenly the lack of vram wont be "a problem"amd should thank valve for that, it's probably going to sell tons of 9060 xts that will go into "diy gabecubes"
>>109132277yeah sm really elevates the discussion about true entry level pc gamingpeople here certainly dismissed all below 12gb vram gpus
I boughted. Tax and shipping brought it clean up to $400.
>>109132354waiting for the reviews, it is a new cpu after all, hope there are improvements
>>109132277With the rise of Ai, game optimization will be shittier than ever and 8gb vram will get you nowhere. The lazy devs will just point you to the new game streaming services, if you complain about that. This age will then be known as the great 8gb vram brickening.
>>109132369its the same design thoslightly different tooling perhaps, maybe better yields so it runs cooler with fewer faults?
>>109132379hopefully it runs cooler and is more power efficient, like the 7800x3d, I assume it's like that cpu, but at 7nm and -500mhz
>>109132369>waitingGood luck buying anything faggot>improvements>>109132379They redid the packaging at TSMC to make manufacture possible again, so it is "different" but it should perform like the same old shit. At the very least not worse. That carbon pad is a joke though. Performs worse than paste. It gets better after literally thousands of thermal cycles. Not to mention apparently if it makes any kind of dust at all carbon nanotubes are like super asbestoes.

>>109132467china was going to go heavy for ddr4 this year because the koreans were phasing out, but the ddr5 prices are too good so they changed most production to it, they'll still make ddr4 when the ai boom bursts (or slowly deflates)ddr4 for ai is way too slow, even ddr5 is too slow unless it's a server cpu using 8, 12, 16 channel memoryddr4 is only for gaming, non-ai production work and homeservers
>>109132449They fucked up milking gta online for half a decade too long. They should have released a gta in-between this. Their expectations for sales don't match up with the reality of the market or the fact that people aren't buying dei garbage created by college liberal arts majors.The comedy in the gta franchise didn't stick around in gta online. The people writing the scripts for gtavi are the ones writing for gta online. They turned gta into saints row.
>>109132487when deepseek came out it was a popular idea to use ddr4 server racks to use it locally for cheapwith a limited budget it was the only way to do it locallyhttps://digitalspaceport.com/how-to-run-deepseek-r1-671b-fully-locally-on-2000-epyc-rig/

>check qvl lists for ram compatability>tedious and can't find any motherboard>check pcpartpicker with the ram selected and use the compatible motherboard feature>all of the motherboards I checked now show up as compatible???
>>109132660Because QVL lists are pointless for ram it's mainly for PCIE. There many buggy vbios out there that cause problems with mobos.
>>109132691So you're saying that the companies doesn't list the ram even if it's compatible, because of the chance it might bug out and make an angry customer?
>>109132720for instance they say compatible with 6200cl28 16gb. this is and only hynix a die. not samsung or micron. but not all cpus will even boot 6200cl28 because they fucked up the trfc2 on the kit or the cpu is just plain shit.
>>109132737All I need to know is that it will run it.The 192gb kit that I have, I want to split, using 2x48gb for my current pc and a new one.The motherboards I looked at doesn't specifically support 2x48gb, but all the smaller and larger combos with this ram model are compatible. So I'll just assume it will be able to run it.
>>109132756it will always run at jedec up to the capacity limit. anything above that speed is a lottery.
>>109132769
>>109131505>9800x3d + rtx5080 is my limit
>>109132782You are speaking the language of man, he is speaking the language of the gods.
>>109126867also from that same person
>>109132782you can fill out all the ram slots up to the capacity limit the board advertises and they will all run at the same slowest speed.
>>109122556Its too fucking hot. My danA4 sfx ITX pc with a R7 9700x is running at 65 degrees idle and the case is too hot to touch. I'm scared just having this thing on in summer let alone gaming and I've already undervolted it. What's the current super small ITX case of choice if you want to fit a reasonably sized CPU cooler?
ram
>>109132829>fell for the ITX meme >asks to fall for ITX meme AGAINstop being both autistic and wrong and get a mid tower already
>>109132839it's iOver™
>>109132839you can also feel it in the chinkheld market. odin 3 early bird price was $300. now its $340-440.
>>109132839ram more
>>109132829take the cool n quiet pill
>>109132843I built it small so I could travel easily and I keep changing jobs to other jobs I don't like so my endless moving isn't going to stop any time soon. I need a PC I can easily carry onto a plane and my current one fits in a camera bag.I'm realising that moores law being dead means PC parts are going to keep getting hotter and bigger but i dont want to pay to ship my pc every time i move.
>>109132866ram more

Im so so so fucking glad i upgrade to 5070ti / DDR4 ram to 64gb / 2tb SSD before all these shit when barbaric
Is it worth to upgrade my Ryzen 5700X CPU to 5800X3D ?
>>109125929no they will break within 6-12 months in some way or another, they always feel comfy as fuck if u never knew from before walked into jysk did the same, thought of buying but not, went on website read reviews, they all said shit chair broken within months. if u want quality then at least 200€
https://a.co/d/06Pz2V0BOn the amazon page it says it's an IPS, but I can't find this exact model anywhere else, not even on Acer's website, and all their other similar offerings are VA. Is it really an IPS bros?
>>109126453when i went to school me and my friends joked about the cl values cause they only will be visible (seconds of booting OS up) if you compare side to side.after all isnt it microseconds those cl values are? idkask AI what CL actually is
>>109133202How's summer break going for you
>new PC>CPU spikes to around 85C when starting a game sometimes>Temps are around 50-60C while gamingIs this ok bros? Im guessing it's an issue with the fans, which take off like jet engines when I load a game up
>>109133229They're safe temps, who gives a shit, enjoy vidya
>>109132829>the case is too hot to touchAnon what the fuck is this.Either your heat tolerance is low or you're somehow using the case as a heatsink.Did you turn every single fan the wrong way and its all blowing inwards so air can barely escape?
>>109133229turbo boost at work. if you dont want to go into the bios then turn it off in windows power plan.
>>109133391Its not a normal case, its fucking tiny and has no space for case fans. It essentially becomes a heatsink as heat rises and the top grill spreads that heat all around the case.
>>109133152yep
>>109133229I disabled pbo on my 7800x3d and it still somehow managed to reach 89 degrees during gaming according to hwinfo
24' 6K monitor when
Gaming isn't fun if you aren't specmaxxingthereforenext build I make will be a rtx 6090wake me up when that releases and ram prices are even worse or lower
>>109133490Anon, your CPU hit tjMax.Do something about your cooling, 7800X3D doesn't generate a lot of heat.
>>109133548It boosts 1 core until it throttles so, not much you can do there.I guess you could disable multithreading, its called somethin like cpu gamer mode on my gigabyte board.
>>109133456Maybe don't use that not-Steambox case then. Very slightly bigger with a carrying handle is just as portable for nomadic life and won't leave it a hotbox that is probably worse than just carrying the parts in a cardboard box and hooking them up raw on the destination table.
>>109133326>>109133434Cool. I just didn't know if I should figure out how to fan curve instead of relying on MSI Center so that the temps/fans don't spike on load. I'm guessing I'd need to put the fans at a higher idle?
>>109133635in bios you can move the fan curves so they're less aggressiveso lower the fan speed at a given temp instead of "100% fans at 70c"
Can your ram be shit even if it's normally fine and memtest ran 2 passes no issues?I got 2x32GB DDR4 1600-3200mhz some xmpp set by a computer shop guy 3 years ago.Now with skyrim moded I got random blue screens at times and some crashes all mentioning memory or something trying to execute memory.Any other tests I should do to rule out bad memory?
>>109133847>>109133847>>109133847
>>109133789IDK, have you tried default settings?
>>109133882Disabled whatever XMPP profile was and testing now, but had a full blackscreen no response crash before...Machine spirit be with me...
>>109133114>>bought a qd oledMe, but white looks yellow to me compared to the IPS I used for years
>>109133114I used microfiber and tap water and never saw anything like thatbut you should ideally turn off the monitor and clean it when it's cold not warmclean with water/alcohol mix whatever that shit is then wipe with a clean onethe smudge has to be oils spread around no? or wiped around antireflective stuff? but yeah WOLED glass coating is less sensitive than thatshould still be doable thoughidk>>109134316>white looks yellow to mewhat is calibration?
